This return hike climbs from the Yakehashiri trailhead past the second and first eruption vents, Tsuruhashi junction and Hiragasa Fudo shelter to Yakushidake, the summit of Mount Iwate. Above the forest, the volcanic gravel slopes overlook the Yakehashiri Lava Flow and cross one of Japan’s notable colonies of komakusa flowers.
